Rumors of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Gary Gensler’s resignation are once again spreading, and this time, artificial intelligence seems to have played a role.
On July 1, an article surfaced on a website called “thecryptoalert.com,” alleging that Gary Gensler had stepped down after an internal investigation, according to an unnamed official.
However, Cointelegraph discovered that the article’s content was highly indicative of AI-generated text, scoring 96.8% on the AI-detection tool ZeroGPT. It is worth noting that the website is relatively new, having only published 17 posts so far, with the earliest one dating back to June 22nd. Furthermore, most of the articles on the site exhibit a significant reliance on artificial intelligence, as evidenced by their approximately 70% score on ZeroGPT.
Despite this, a number of accounts reposted the content on Twitter. The most widely viewed post concerning the matter was from an account called @whalechart, which has garnered 1.4 million views at the time of publication.
In a July 3 tweet, Fox Business Network reporter Charles Gasparino confirmed that Gary Gensler is not resigning after reportedly hearing back from the SEC.
